I wish I had a 3D printer as a kid, it would have been cool designing and making my own action figures and vehicles.
Maybe you can print out the whole gun, but you cannot print out the ammunition.
The Government knows this, it’s why they are buying it -—so you cannot get it.
Gun Control will be a joke, Ammunition control will be the target.
3-D printer Ping
I don’t think the plastics used in the current generations of 3D printers are up to the task.
I know that Space-X (private space launch firm) has at least two 3D printers that are up to the task, however.
They are extremely accurate and the print medium is titanium.
But the machines cost millions each.
Well folks.. you can buy a 3D PRINTER for $500.

Don’t forget that AR15 magazines are little more than sheetmetal and a cheap spring. The gun was designed so mags would be cheap enough to throw away without a thought. No high tech printers required.
You don't really expect me to believe you can “print” the springs in the first place.
At least Obama has spurred a new interest in home craftsmanship.
